Race Equality Charter Conversation Café, 20th June
If you are keen to help enhance the race equality at the University, come along to our Conversation Café on 20th June to find out how you could get involved
The University is committed to Race Equality and has signed up to become a member of the Advanced HE’s Race Equality Charter Scheme. To achieve an award under the scheme will require a lot of work and the buy in of the whole University. You can read more about the REC here. It will take us about 18 months to achieve.
We will soon be seeking nominations to be part of our self-assessment team to help us evaluate the racial inequalities and barriers in representation, progression, development and success of minority ethnic staff and students at the University of Bedfordshire. As well as formulating a workable and effective action plan to address identified inequalities and barriers.
If you would like to learn more and what it will men to be part of the be part of the self-assessment team and/or to find out more about the Race Equality Charter, we would like to invite you to a Conversation Café on Monday 20 June 2022 between 10am and 12pm.
More details to follow but please sign up here for tickets, the event will be on Microsoft Teams and will be recorded for those unable to attend.
This is an extremely valuable opportunity for people across the university to get involved in making a real and measurable difference to the experience of our staff and students. By doing this work not only can we achieve an REC award we can also ensure that Bedfordshire is reaching its full potential by supporting and enhancing the talents and ambitions of our diverse staff and student body.
Best Wishes, Louise Grant, Executive Dean, HSS and Chair of the EDI Committee and Susan Shutter, Director of People & Culture
